Hi,
I want to use an animated gif as textureMaterial for a Cube. The gif is displayed correctly but not animated.

Anyone has an idea?

I’m not too sure honestly, but I’d suggest breaking the gif into single images and have some sort of timer loop through changing it.

Either use separate images and replace the texture frame by frame, or better yet, render the separate frames of the GIF into a texture atlas and use UV transforms to “mask” out the right part of the atlas each frame.

@Richard: This sounds great, but as I’m still a noog at this, I didn’t understand a word. Could you explain it in more detail, please?

Well, the easiest method then would be to use separate images. Split up your GIF into separate bitmaps, one for each frame. Either do it in Photoshop, or do it programmatically in your ActionScript code.

Then create a BitmapTexture for each bitmap and store these in an array or vector, and set the material of your 3D object to a TextureMaterial.

Finally, every frame, change the texture used by the texture material to the next one, effectively animating using a flip book approach.
